Non-standard
parts may not operate
properly with your unit and may cause
damage and lead to personal injury.

replacement
parts could
invalidate your Swisher warranty.
Muffler
This unit must never be operated with a faulty
or missing spark arrester or muffler. Make
sure the muffler is well secured and in good
condition. Aworn or damaged muffler is a
fire hazard and may also cause hearing loss.
Spark
Plug
Keep the
spark
plug and wire connections
tight and clean.
Fasteners
Make sure nuts, bolts, and screws (except
carburetor adjusting screws)
are tight.
Air Filter
The E4 engine that powers your Swisher mod-
el is a hybrid 4-stroke engine. As a hybrid,
the engine is lubricated by oil mixed with
the gasoline and air from the carburetor that
moves through and around the internal parts
of the engine in a similar way that a 2-stroke
engine is lubricated. Without the heavy duty
2-stage air filter equipped on all E4 engines,
dust and dirt could also move through the en-
gine, decreasing engine life, increasing valve
wear and the need for more frequent valve ad-
justments. To keep your E4 engine strong and
reliable, Swisher recommends that you check
and service the air flter as instructed in the
10-Hour Maintenance section that follows.
